Altitude sends emails for account activity you'll want to know about: verification, payments, team changes, rewards, bills, and statements.
Some are always sent (verification, invitations, bills, statements). Others are user-controllable from Settings → Notifications and are routed based on each member's permissions.

Notification preferences
You can choose which of the configurable notifications you receive. Go to the Notifications tab in your Account settings to see the list under the Type heading. Each notification toggles independently. Outgoing transactions is a parent toggle; the three sub-options inherit from it.
Available toggles:
Incoming deposits
Outgoing transactions
Transaction initiated
Transaction approved
Transaction executed
Member added or removed
Permissions changed
Rewards deposit
Rewards withdrawal
Some notifications cannot be turned off, including verification approved, invitations, rewards paid, bill received, and statement ready emails.
